Therapy for Perfectionism & Anxiety in Connecticut

"Even when I succeed, it never feels like enough."

Alex (she/her)** has always been the overachiever. She graduated at the top of her class, landed a competitive job, and seems to have everything together on the outside. But inside, Alex is constantly battling anxiety. Every project at work feels like it could make or break her career, and she struggles to say no to extra responsibilities, terrified of disappointing anyone.

Even when she achieves something big, the satisfaction never lasts—there’s always the next thing to prove, the next goal to crush. Her friends admire her ambition, but Alex feels like she’s barely keeping her head above water. She spends her evenings replaying conversations, worrying if she said the wrong thing, and questioning if she’s good enough. She’s exhausted, burned out, and starting to wonder if she’ll ever feel at peace.

Therapy can help you slow down, challenge the perfectionism driving your anxiety, and rediscover balance in your life. Let’s learn to set boundaries, manage the pressure, and find fulfillment beyond constant achievement.
